Is there a reason why you don't use a RelativeLayout?

<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="40dip"
    android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/item">
<TableLayout
    android:id="@+id/itemTable"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:background="@drawable/border"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="3dip" >
</TableLayout>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    android:background="@drawable/list_selector"
    android:padding="10dp" 
    android:layout_below="@+id/itemTable"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:text=" Order " />
 </RelativeLayout>

this way it should adapt nicely inside the layout.

If your problem is that you don't SEE the button,maybe your table is too big?You should make it smaller,or put everything inside a nice ScrollView

add scrollView as parent:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/scroll_view"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="40dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/item">
    <TableLayout
        android:id="@+id/itemTable"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/border"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:padding="3dip" >
    </TableLayout>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:background="@drawable/list_selector"
        android:padding="10dp" 
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text=" Order " />
</LinearLayout>

</Scrollview>
